<p>Hi all.</p>
<p>I have considerable experience with SIMD from my days writing the PS3 compiler at SCEE and designing instruction sets in my youth. I would very much like to get the portable SIMD support  over the line as it seems to be a low priority.</p>
<p>I am teaching advanced Rust after a few decades of C++ and need to follow the trends.<br>
Get in touch if you need any help.</p>

<p>Hi Andy, have you taken a look at the stdsimd repository yet?  It's pretty mature at this point but still plenty of open issues: <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/stdsimd">https://github.com/rust-lang/stdsimd</a></p>

<p>Right now we are aiming for our first milestone of getting it into the nightly compiler.</p>

<p>Hi Caleb,</p>
<p>I appreciate you getting back to me. I'm writing a talk on Rust SIMD for Monday and realised that I was out of date.</p>
<p>I'm looking at the RFCs and stdsimd right now. I used packed_simd a couple of years ago in the arrow crate and my own private bioinformatics work. I'll see if there are any issues that I can take up. Always a good way to learn a project.</p>
<p>Thanks, Andy.</p>
